When Lily glanced over, the salesgirl had her arms crossed with a respectful front. However, Lily did not miss the hint of dissatisfaction in the salesgirl's eyes.
Although the card in her hand made her respect Lily more, everyone who entered the store was either rich or powerful. The individual that reserved this dress was not just any ordinary rich woman.
"Madam…" The salesgirl smiled forcefully and continued, "Would you like to look around still?"
'So, what if you have money? We’re in Kingsland, and there are tons of rich people. Regardless of how rich they are, they would still have to bow to those in power.'
Lily tilted her head and straightened out her clothes before casually glancing at the dress again. "I'm not the type that would take second glances. If nothing tickles my fancy at the first sign, there's no point looking around. Are you sure you refuse to sell this?"
Her last sentence made the salesgirl's heart skip a beat.
She dared not reject Lily directly, nor did she dare to tell Lily off. Ultimately, the salesgirl decided to beat around the bush. "Madam, your humor is immaculate, but we're running a business. Of course, we can't refuse to sell our customers things. However, it's just that someone did buy this dress already. What about you talk to the owner about it? We'll sell it to you if she's willing to give it up."
Lily immediately caught on to what the salesgirl was doing. She was trying to avoid the responsibility and give it to someone else. That made Lily sneer. "Weren't you the one who ordered the young girl to bring this dress to me?"
The salesgirl was struggling to find a reply before he hesitantly mumbled, "Y-Yes, but…"
"Didn't you say I should pay for it before I try it on?"
Jane stepped in after hearing all this. "Madam, look…"
"Since I've taken my card to pay, the dress should be mine. What's the issue here?" Lily continued, ignoring Jane.
